(RANKS)

"I knew it."

Fei stare at the gigantic hologram leader board portrayed in the cafeteria, the result had been declared. It is clear that the top seats were booked down by the upper class of society, as for Fei, he only got a measly "C" Rank. All thanks for those bugs, does system always glitch out like that? Miku got an A and Morgan got an S. Which is in his prediction according to his outstanding performance. Meanwhile he still isn't sure about Miku's skill, he missed it out completely, but it sure is strong to able to reach such feats. Honestly, he felt kind of disappointed to miss that show.

But standing on the top of the ranks, staring down at these weaklings is the one and only student who achieved the legendary rank of SS: Erina Van Helsing, the fifteen generation of the legendary Van Helsing family. Nicknamed: The monster hunters. The Helsing Family had been indulging in such expertise for centuries, so when the gateway was opened, it was also their time to shine. He barely caught a glimpse of her once though. She seems weak, sickening, with such a pale face and petite body size. With an equally white long hair that was tied into a pony tail. She always wear a gothic style of dressing, carrying a gigantic crossbow at her back, Fei didn't even manage to see her face clear, for once. She is a weird kid, quiet, isolated and always away from crowds, unlike the rest of the elites. Even when she appears, she is always wearing a heavy black cloak, covering herself up as much as possible.

"The training room and virtual arena are available now, you all can try out and train, it is available twenty-four seven. If you had any questions, you can find me at the principal's office at the top floor of the academy." She declared, but the rest didn't seem to mind those news. Most of them are busy discussing about their ranks and the others, only Fei seems quite glad about it. He knew that in the training room, there is a tool that he needed. He is going "borrow" it to capture and exterminate that darn ghost camping in his room. He had enough, all he wanted is a good night sleep. "That's all for today, the class is dismissed." With that she walk down the stage, the student flooded out of the school, still discussing the same topic. Fei seems like that odd one out as always, but even worse this time. He didn't took the test actually, so he could only stay shut while following behind, alone and awkward. He take a quick glimpse at his watch, half past three, class surely is dismissed a lot earlier today.

He had a working shift at six, so all he could do is to return back to his dorm and rest while waiting for the time to arrive. Or maybe, he could head to the training room to get the ghost busting equipment he needed first. Right. With those ideas in mind, he did a sharp turn and head back to the opposite direction of the crowd.

"Sure is a different scene…" Fei walk down the hallway, since the training room is at the fifth floor and he needed to take the lift at the end of the corridor for it. The hallway is eerily quiet, since most of the students are out of it. It is so quiet that he could even hear his heart thumping loud and clear. He take a nervous look around, somehow, he is hell of guilty, although he did nothing wrong. Yet, he felt like something bad is going to happen.

"Dong-"

He heard a loud, muffled voice from behind. He turn around immediately to see… Just the wind blew open the door of one of the classroom, causing it to slam right into the wall beside it. Fei let out a deep breath of relief, he really is a pussy. In the future he needed to slay demons and capture spirits, so he couldn't be phase such situation. The moment he let his guard down, somehow someone manage to crept in front of it. The moment he turn his head back, a punch landed in his face. He tried to dodge it, but too late, it hit him square at the side of his face. The hit caused him to be flung towards the locker beside, his body slamming hard into the iron hide of it.

"This is what you got! Loser!" The boy laughed. "W-who the heck are you?" Fei stood up, confused, staring at this total stranger in front of him. He is a huge chunk of glutinous fat, almost twice his hight, and at least thrice his weight. "How dare you try to act cocky in front of her!" He growled, approaching. Fei immediately backs up out of instinct. He didn't wanted to fight, he had more important things to do, he got a ghost to catch.

"Who? Miku?" He asked, trying to explain the situation. "I am just her lackey! Listen!" He didn't listen, he reach his hand out before starting to stretch like rubber. This action caught him off by surprise, causing the stretching hand to grab him by the throat. The boy stretched his hand back, pulling him towards his fist, which is already in motion. Who the hell is this guy, Monkey D Luffy?

With his last-ditch attempt, Fei raised his arms and cover his head to block the hit. But the fist suddenly bents, changing course from a straight jab into an uppercut, striking his unguarded jaw. The hit caused him to flung back mid-air, the boy didn't gave him a chance to breath, though, as he charged his second fist before bursting it out, stretching and shooting like a slingshot. "Fatty rocket!" The fist hit Fei by his torso before he impact the ground beneath him, causing him to chuck down the hallway like a ragdoll.

"That is what you get for messing dear Miku!" The boy laughed out loud, hugging his stomach. "Remember my name! I am Adam! The successor of the third scroll of Kung Food: Glutinous rice cakes! Rank A! Someone a puny Rank C like you couldn't even reach!" Fei is still on the ground, his body aching like crazy, convulsing. In his mind, that familiar, demonic voice started to call once more, tempting him to repeat his mistakes just like before. "Play dead, just play dead." He whispered in his heart, he didn't wanted anyone to hurt anymore.

"You don't deserve her Fei, not even being her lackey, not even being her stool, her toy dog." He approached him and sneered, before kicking him once more in the stomach. Causing him to clash into the iron locker beside him once more, this time, the locker was straight up bent to the inside due to the immense force. Fei let out a cough, blood spew out of his mouth. "Garbage." He gave him a thumbs down before spitting a mouthful of disgusting spit onto his face. Alright, he had changed his mind. He decided to let this boy go, but looks like he asking for more. He reach for the back of his neck, before ripping down the amulet sheet behind, releasing the beast within him.

"I am hungry, even hitting in the ass you is a waste of life." He turn his head away seeing him not reacting to anything he do. But the moment he let his guard down, an overhead punch was landed onto him. One that took him out of surprise. Although he is almost fifty percent fat, and it is able to absorb the shock of that punch with his skill, he is still knocked out cold by it. At the split second before fainting, he saw Fei, staring at him coldly with those bloody red eyes…
